Aston Villa v Newcastle United Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Nakamba in for SJM

[London Villan]

Nakamba starting surprises me, guess we'll give Doug licence to be a bit more box to box.

Saint Maximn on the bench for them.

Marv does allow Dougie further forward though which is good.

Great opportunity for Marv to show how he's improved.
